Notes
A highly detailed survey published ten years after Greenwood's large-scale map of the county, it shows similarity to its predecessor but has much more detail especially with its use of conterminous boundaries, where even the parishes receive great attention. To the lower left of the map is an "Explanation" that called for the various administrative boundaries, market towns, parishes, townships and hamlets, turnpikes and cross roads, commons, river banks, open fields and meadows, churches and windmills. There is the usual ornamental border and to the lower right a vignette view of Welbeck Abbey from the southeast.
Scale: 1 inch to 1 statute mile.
